More Info: Jean Baptiste Adam is one of the oldest estates in Alsace, with 19 ha of organic vineyards in the Haut Rhin village of Ammerschwir. The granite slopes of Grand Cru Kaefferkopf provide the backdrop to the village and produce the estate’s unforgettable wines. 400 years later, the estate remains in safe family hands, guided by the 14th generation of Adams, Jean-Baptiste and his daughters Laure, Pauline and Marie. Their progressive stewardship has seen the introduction of biodynamic principals and a 'non-interventionist' regime in the cellar (a natural process of slow pressing, wild fermentations and no filtration) that ensures wonderfully expressive, clean and complex wines.
